Larry Foote's strategy to gain those stats must have been to hope the RB trips as they run him over after a 4+ yard gain. That strategy worked pretty well for the Steelers but that doesn't indicate good LB play.

I'm with you steelz09. Larry Foote is a travis-sham-ockery!! People see a certain number of tackles and automatically assume someone is doing their job but when most of those tackles are 7-10 yards from the LOS or down the sideline and it is coming from a position who is suppose to be stout at the POA and able to play coming forward, well then you see a much larger picture.

Even if the guy leads his team multiple times in tackles you guys spin it as a negative and find a reason why the stats don't tell the whole story. Of course they don't - but Foote's been a major contributor to this team. You guys are a joke.

Of course, Foote is no Farrior, but you guys did the same thing to Farrior at the end of his career. You have Foote and Farrior - two middle guys on a number of the #1 rushing D's of all time they are sham-ockery?

A major contributor??? Ok there it is there. This is where the disconnect lies. Some see him for what he really is, and others have him as a perennial pro bowler headed for the hall of fame.

Take it for what its worth. Farrior was a great player but he was showing his age. It happens. Foote in his prime was just an average guy that needed to play alongside someone above average whether that be a Farrior or Timmons. Nothing more.. nothing less. We are not seeing much of a drop off, if any, with Williams starting and that tells you all you need to know about Foote at this point in his career.
